VOTING RIGHTS IN THE CHURCH

RECALLING the April 7 news article by Laurence Hammack, entitled "Charges dropped, church rift isn't," the "rift" was over voting in the church, not attending. The church has every right not to let someone vote on important church issues when that person or persons have not faithfully attended for some time. And it was never said they could not attend services, until they defiantly challenged this very reasonable rule. People sure do read things into something that is not there, especially when it's religious. ANGELA THOMPSON SHAWSVILLE
